Ep 8 The Case Of The Toxic Tea Lady
<p> Hi, and welcome to the H is for Homicide podcast where we talk about all things true crime ranging from sinister to psychotic stories worldwide. In today’s episode, we’ll be discussing the case of the toxic tea lady, Carrie Grills. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Caroline Grills was a most unlikely multiple murder suspect, being a 63-year-old mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was charged with having murdered, by poison, four distant relatives, using what was then the virtually untraceable thallium. The method was not uncommon in the 1950s - the mother-in-law of prominent Balmain rugby league footballer Bobby Lulham was acquitted of poisoning him. It had made him very ill but did not kill him.</p> <p>Grills was born to George Michelson and Mary (née Preiers) in Balmain, Sydney, at some point between 1888 and 1890.[1][3] She married Richard William Grills on 22 April 1908, with whom she had four sons.[3]</p> <p>She first became a murder suspect in 1947 after the deaths of four family members: her 87-year-old stepmother Christine Mickelson; relatives by marriage Angelina Thomas and John Lundberg; and sister-in-law Mary Anne Mickelson.

Ep 7. The Bodies in Barrels Murders (Australia)
The Snowtown murders (also known as the bodies in barrels murders) were a series of murders committed by John Justin Bunting, Robert Joe Wagner and James Spyridon Vlassakis between August 1992 and May 1999, in and around Adelaide, South Australia. A fourth person, Mark Haydon, was convicted for helping to dispose of the bodies. The trial was one of the longest and most publicised in Australian legal history. Most of the bodies were found in barrels in an abandoned bank vault in Snowtown, South Australia, hence the names given in the press for the murders. Only one of the victims was killed in Snowtown itself, which is approximately 140 kilometres (87 miles) north of Adelaide, and neither the twelve victims nor the three perpetrators were from the town. Although the motivation for the murders is unclear, the killers were led by Bunting to believe that the victims were paedophiles, homosexuals or "weak". In the case of some victims, the murders were preceded by torture, and efforts were made to appropriate victims' identities, social security payments and bank accounts. ***To Know More Continue Listening*** let us know if you liked the episode by rating the podcast on whichever streaming platform you use or reach out to us on our Instagram- @h_isforhomicide or email us feedback, reviews, etc on our mail hisforhomicidethepodcast@gmail.com We’ll see you soon with another case this month at 11:11 PM ist, till then goodbye!

Ep 6- The Borden Family Axe Murders (North America)
<p>Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks and </p> <p>when she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one.</p> <p>What you just heard is a nursery rhyme written for kids about the 1892 Borden axe murders. Rhymes from the early 18 and 1900s often have unsettling meanings behind them. But the lyrics of this specific poem unveil an extremely dark and sinister truth about one of the most famous yet forgotten cases of early-era true crime.</p> <p>Today we’re going to be discussing the case of the axe murders of Lizzie Borden.</p> <p>So Let’s start from the beginning of this story…</p> <p>Lizzie Andrew Borden was born July 19, 1860, in Fall River Massachusetts, to Sarah Anthony Borden and Andrew Jackson Borden. Her father, who was of English and Welsh descent and grew up in very modest surroundings and struggled financially as a young man, despite being the descendant of wealthy and influential local residents. Andrew eventually prospered in the manufacture and sale of furniture and caskets and then became a successful Property Developer. He was a director of several textile mills and owned considerable commercial property; he was also president of the Union Savings Bank and a director of the Durfee Safe Deposit and Trust Co. At his death, his estate was valued at $300,000 (equivalent to $9,000,000 in 2021 and $9,630,000 in 2022). Which is definitely a lot of money</p> <p>But Despite his wealth, Andrew was known for his frugality and simplicity. For instance, the Borden home lacked indoor plumbing although, at the time, it was a common accommodation for the wealthy. It was in an affluent area, but the wealthiest residents of Fall River, including Andrew's cousins, generally lived in the more fashionable neighbourhood, "The Hill", which was farther from the industrial areas of the city.</p> <p>***to know more continue listening***</p> <p>That was it for this case, let us know if you liked it by rating the podcast on whichever streaming platform you use or reach out to us on our Instagram @h_isforhomicide or email us feedback, reviews, etc on our mail <a href="mailto:hisforhomicidethepodcast@gmail.com"><u>hisforhomicidethepodcast@gmail.com</u></a></p> <p>And don’t forget We’ll see you next month with fresh cases from another continent at 11:11 pm ist. Till then goodbye!</p>
